Sounds like you had a good experience. I don’t think many people realize what an exhausting day it is to attend a Trump rally. Waiting in a line for hours until the gates open, getting through security, standing in the food line and cheering through the show. It’s a long day.
The two best rallies I attended were at the North Charleston Convention center which had inside seating. The most fun but exhausting one was at fair grounds in Perry GA. Hot day, no seating. Great crowd energy. Met two girls from Fla. The rally at Florence SC was a shear act of determination to give Trump a big attendance figure. It was freezing cold and the wind was blowing.
Oh, I should have been more specific. The Trump rallies I went to were organized by the local Republican Party. Trump himself was not there. They were held in small towns. Maybe 200 people attended each one.
Lots of nice people wearing MAGA gear. My only complaint is that the country music they played was all modern stuff. Not a single Johnny Cash or Patsy Cline song!
As you noted, actual Trump rallies have limited parking space and long lines.
I’m getting too old for all of that.
